Forum Tournaments


A new mod to run Forum Tournaments has just been released, and I'm trying to think up possible ways of using it. What kind of tournament would you run with it on your forum?

Could you use it to rate who makes the most posts, or gets the most user rating feedback? Maybe who gives you the most referrals...

I think you have to add it manually, I don't know if any games have been made to integrate with it.

Re: Forum Tournaments


I'd want to use a 'tournament' style of setup if I were running a sports related site

I'd use things like....

Which Philadelphia Phillies team is considered the best of all time? Then, you put up the best 8 teams and have folks vote on it, etc.

Who was the best Philadelphia Eagles Offensive or Defensive player of all time?

Stuff like that.

What was vBookie? Was it a "simulation" betting mod?

Re: Forum Tournaments


What a shame. I just read some of the posts and the coder is saying just that....not supporting it and not letting go of the code. That sucks.

Lots of folks have it downloaded and installed (like over 600) and it looks like there were folks using it as recently as 3.6.8 with no issues.

But, I wouldn't want the hassle of figuring that out. Although, it looked like a great mod! And, would've been perfect for your site.
